r12 — true spirituality: What's Included?

This page will give you a feel for what you'll study and how you'll work together in your small group. It shows what materials you'll use each week, what pages to read in your book and study guide, in what order you'll review each, how to locate study materials if you miss a study session, and lots more. It even has helpful tips on organizing your small group so you can maximize your appreciation of Chip's weekly videos, his book, his study guide, and his personal answers to perplexing questions that many people have after watching his videos.

Here are the r12 study resources you'll use each week.

• The book: "Living on the Edge" by Chip Ingram (268 pages)
• The r12 study guide: "True Spirituality According to Jesus" (60 pages)
• Chip's DVD including seven session videos (You can watch each session video when your group meets. You can also watch videos online by clicking the sessions in the menu bar above.)
• Chip's three short videos, available each session, that answer common, perplexing questions that many people ask after watching all six videos
